iPhone 4S review of reviews
Never can there have been such a emotion-fuelled product launch as with the iPhone 4S, what with the rawer-than-raw passing of the man that made it all possible in the first place, and the moans and gripes of the Apple geekosphere about how it’s not really a new iPhone and how they are now going to have to wait another year to get that gloaty new-phone feeling. This is all…
MacBook Air 2011 review of reviews
11 and 13 inch Macbook Airs were released last week to much funfare, and had us Apple addicts trampling over our Grandmas graves in an attempt to get all the goss on whether we should be upgrading and/or switching from the Pro. Reviews of the new release are spread across the internet like an oddly pleasant rash, and rather than making you wade through them all we’ve collected the best…
CU Exposed: V-Moda, be.ez and MagicWand
Latest Gadgets were invited to CU exposed, a small but perfectly formed gadget expo in the heart of London. Here are a few highlights: Headphones can be worn out so fast, if you blink, you miss it. Many people put their loose headphones in their bag and this is a big source of damage as they clash with keys and get squashed by everything else in your bag. I have…
iPad2 review roundup
In its short life, the iPad has managed to turn on an enormous number of people to the joys of tablets. More than 15 million have been sold in just nine months. Now it’s all about to start again as the iPad 2 hits the shelves of the UK stores on March 25 (the same day as the 3DS). Coming in at around twice the price of Nintendo’s pocket gaming…
New Macbook and Macbook Pro review of reviews
While everyone’s getting excited about whether or not the iPhone 5 is due to appear very soon, or whether it might just be a white version of the iPhone 4, and the rest of the Mac fans are immersed in the excitement of the iPad 2, don’t forget that Apple has also just released a new MacBook and MacBook Pro. Under the shiny hood, the Core 2 Duos and Nehalem…
iPad 2 and the race of the third-party accessory makers
Steve Jobs had barely left the stage and my inbox began to fill with third-parties eager to give me their take on the iPad 2. Apple’s obsession with thinness has trimmed the old iPad to a shadow of its former self and left the rich ecosystem of cases and knick-knacks looking to upgrade. As with the iPad 1, Apple debuted a pretty clever case system – this time using folds…
Making tax less taxing – CropMark bluetooth keyboard that also avoids the Apple tax
If you’re still wading through your accounts and gamely trying to bash in figures using your Mac keyboard, here’s a gadget that could save your sanity (and you’ll be able to add it to your expenses for next year!).

Latest Gadgets tablets roundup: Apple, Samsung, Dell, BlackBerry, Notion Ink, Fushion Garage, Toshiba and ViewSonic face-off
We’re not sure, but apparently tablet computers are all the rage this year. Who knew? Well, apparently Apple, Samsung, Dell, BlackBerry, Notion Ink, Fushion Garage, Toshiba, ViewSonic, the high street retailer Next and the country of Germany, all had a vague idea about the revolution. That’s why they’ve all managed to put together tablets that are already, or will be within six months, on the markets. Which is best? Who…
Is the iPad a viable alternative to the MacBook?
Firstly, in the interests of full disclosure, I’ve become some what of an Apple ‘fan boy’ over the last few years. In my growing stable of all things Apple I can now count two iPhones (technically one belongs to work), Apple TV and a MacBook Pro. So it will come as no surprise that when I decided to look for an ultra-light laptop, it quickly came down to a choice…
Not long to wait now – Windows Phone 7 handsets roundup
It’s eight months since Microsoft first revealed its Windows Phone 7 OS, and now the wait is nearly over for you to get your hands on it. October 21 is the UK launch date for several WP7 smartphones from the likes of HTC, Dell, LG and Samsung. “Glance and Go” is Microsoft’s catchphrase for the new operating system, claiming that you’ll be able to carry out your everyday tasks faster,…
